अवस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
अपत्यभावे यदि तुङ्गगेहेनिजालये पापयुतेक्षितश्चेत् ।निद्रागतोऽपत्यविनाशकारीशुभेक्षितश्चैकसुतस्य हन्ता ॥ १८ ॥
A combination for joy from children. A planet may be in the 5th house, in its high sign or its own sign. It may be in nidra (sleeping), joined or seen by bad planets. There is a risk of losing children. If good planets see it, there is a risk to one son.
Simple meaning: A sleeping planet in the 5th, with bad planets, may risk children. With good planets, it may risk one son.
राहुणा सहितौ यस्य निधनस्थौ कुजार्कजौ ।
Mars and Saturn with Rahu in the 8th house show a risk of untimely death by a weapon.
निधनोपि शुभो यस्य पापारिग्रहवीक्षितः ।
A good planet in the 8th, seen by bad or enemy planets, may show a risk of death in battle.
यदा निद्रायुक्तो निधनभवनं पापमिलितः
A sleeping planet with a bad one in the 8th risks harm from enemies. Good planets give a holy end.
